EMOTIONAL READING. "A pet cat or dog’s ability to respond to our emotional state opens an interaction channel with high visceral impact, which social robots may also be able to access." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016786551400333X View in LinkedIn

WARM AND FUZZY BOTS. “Sony has announced plans to develop a robot “capable of forming an emotional bond with customers. It seems that a lot of tech companies are finding ways to make the human-robot interaction as warm and fuzzy as possible. Japanese telecoms company SoftBank made similar “emotional” claims about its Pepper companion robot, while Boston Dynamics has unveiled earlier the SpotMini, a robot with a sense of humor.”(2016) https://lnkd.in/d44cZk7 View in LinkedIn

"TELEROBOTS physically separate the master controller that is operated by a human from the slave robot that interacts with the environment." https://lnkd.in/eJy8qkc View in LinkedIn

"CAN HUMANS SWARM? Swarms behave as unique entities, operating as a coherent unit that displays emergent intelligence, even emergent personality." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn

HUMANS LACK CONNECTIONS. "Certainly humans didn’t evolve the ability to swarm, for we lack the innate connections that other species use to establish feedback-loops among individual members." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn

SWARMING IN NATURE. "Ants use chemical traces. Fish detect vibrations in the water around them. Bees use high speed gestures. Birds detect motions propagating through the flock. Whatever method is used for establishing the interstitial connectivity, the resulting swarms possess capabilities as a group that the individuals alone can’t match." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn

FILLING IN THE GAPS OF EVOLUTION. "Yes, humans can swarm. And yes, new technology is the key. Humans can swarm only if we develop technologies that fill in missing the pieces evolution hasn’t yet provided. And thus far, the results have been fascinating, suggesting that enhanced intelligence through human swarming is a very real possibility." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn

AMPLIFYING INTELLIGENCE. "How 'artificial swarm intelligence' uses people to make better predictions than experts. Dr. Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous AI, is building a software platform, UNU, that assembles groups to make collective decisions. "What's different about this is that it fundamentally keeps people in there...We're focused on using software to amplify human intelligence." http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-artificial-swarm-intelligence-uses-people-to-make-better-predictions-than-experts/ View in LinkedIn

DIVINATION. "Still, the decision-making capability that Unanimous AI has tapped into is impressive. The UNU platform has been remarkably accurate so far in predicting the outcome of things like last year's Oscars, the Superbowl and even political races." http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-artificial-swarm-intelligence-uses-people-to-make-better-predictions-than-experts/ View in LinkedIn
